The Colonial Estate Emigre - 2004 (750ml) Loire The finish is longThe 2004 Emigre, a Rhone based blend of Grenache, Shiraz, and Mourvedre as well as Carignan and Cabernet Sauvignon, exhibits a sweet perfume of graphite, black fruits, sweet cherries, licorice, smoke, and background vanillin. Full bodied, rich, textured, and impressively long, it should drink well for 10 15 years minimum. Imported by USA Wine West, San Rafael, CA; tel.
